This week I interviewed former professor of food science and human nutrition at U of Illinois - Dr. Don Layman! 

He has been studying protein, amino acid requirements and the interrelationship between dietary protein and carbohydrates in adult health for the past 30 years.  

In this episode, we discuss:

 - what your first meal should consist of,

 - the importance of getting the correct amino acids in your diet, 

 - the difference between casein and whey protein, 

 - ideal amount of protein to build muscle

and his one tip to get your body back to what it once was!

In this episode, I touch on how I am going to start implementing more meals / more food / less fasting and less carb restriction!

I will be doing this by eating 2.5/3 meals a day and adding in whole food carbs(mainly fruit) but still prioritizing protein! I know it sounds crazy but sometimes you have to take a step back and do some self experimentation. I am getting a dexa scan and blood work this week and off we go! 

I always stress the importance of self experimentation when it comes to optimizing health and I wanted to mix it up for myself. Being low carb and fasting is a great tool but perhaps I will learn from adding in more food and carbohydrates that might optimize my performance in the weight room. I also want to learn different strategies that I could use when working with my clients as well. So off we go!

This week I interviewed the owner of Seatopia - James Arthur Smith! 

I have been ordering Seatopia for the last 6 months and love it so much that I had to get James on the podcast. SEATOPIA is about scaling a regenerative supply chain that only works with truly sustainably-farmed seafood. They mitigate pressure on the ocean's overfished wild stock populations while directly monitoring feed inputs to produce clean, consistent and quantifiably safe seafood.  

In this episode, we discuss: 

 - Importance of Algae Based Seafood

 - Problem with Microplastics in our Ocean

 - Fishes with the Highest Heavy Metals

 - Importance of Ocean Conservation

and how to get sushi grade fish to your house monthly!

Here is a checklist of priorities when restocking your kitchen in order to have a healthy pantry of items to choose from! If it's not in the kitchen you won't eat it!

- Ditch Bad Fats and Seed Oils

Eliminating the consumption of high-polyunsaturated vegetable and seed oils (corn, canola, sunflower, soybean...etc.) that are on most processed and packaged snacks, frozen meals and condiments

- Eliminate Sugars and Grains

Minimize sugar and grain based snacks that can cause cravings and overeating

- Cook / Eat Healthy Fats

Cooking with ghee, avocado / coconut oil, quality olive oil, tallow and/or grass fed butter is a great way to avoid PUFA's and get healthy fats into your diet.

- Focus on Nutrient Dense Foods

Pastured eggs, grass fed / grass finished meats, wild coldwater fish

- Shop frequently 

If you are avoiding shelf stable items that have seed oils in them and buying fresh, local items you will have to go to the store more often. That is a net positive for your health!

Follow these guidelines when you are shopping and be sure to support the local farmers market!

Technically anything with calories will break a fast so black coffee doesn't break a fast. Keep in mind, caffeine tends to trigger the release of stress hormones like cortisol so I wouldn't have it first thing in the morning. Instead, I would wait a couple hours to let the body wake up naturally. Using coffee strategically before your workouts is a great way to get an extra boost without spending tons of money on a preworkout drink. I talked about this in my interview with Menno Henselmans (episode 169). Also, keep an eye on the source of your coffee because most mainstream coffee has mold, and pesticides which can cause many adverse health issues. (autoimmunity, cancer, mood disorders, GI problems...etc).  

If you are adding milk, sugar and cream to your coffee this technically will break your fast and could cause quite the spike in blood sugar. If your goal is weight loss, then learning to enjoy your coffee or espresso black might be a better choice. You are better off breaking your fast with a protein-focused breakfast earlier in the day to maximise satiety and stabilize your blood sugar for the rest of the day.

This week I discuss the power of naps and how a 10-30 minute power nap can enhance performance, increase alertness, and reduce mistakes! Don't we all need this!

 Here are a few general tips for napping:

1. Set Your Alarm to keep naps short, aiming for 10 to 30 minutes. Longer naps bring a higher likelihood of grogginess upon waking up.
2. Nap in the midafternoon, often between 2 and 3 p.m. These are the times when people often experience post-lunch sleepiness or lower alertness levels. Naps taken at this time are also less likely to interfere with sleep at night. 
3. Create a restful environment, which for most people is a quiet, dark place with a comfortable temperature and limited distractions.

Perhaps it's time to consider setting time aside each day to take an effective power nap. Whether at your desk or at home, consider creating an environment of calm by adding 10-30 minutes into your calendar for rest each day. Not only will it make you more productive, but you may also feel more peace, calm, and joy.

This week I discuss the importance of eating nutrient dense foods throughout the day to remain satiated which can help with fasting and minimize mindless snacking.  

Nutrient density is the sum of all the essential micronutrients packed per calorie per food. Adding nutrient-dense foods into your daily energy budget will help crush your cravings and control your appetite! It's a lot easier to over eat processed carbs (pasta, muffins, cakes...) than it is to over eat liver or ribeye! Listen to the micro-podcast to get the top nutrient dense animal, seafood and plant foods - you might be surprised!
